Florida in December

We had beautiful weather the whole time we were in Florida.

Happy family

Good little fellow, you brought us a lot of joy!  Rest now. 

Winter Vacation

For my birthday (it was one of the biggies), the kids took me on a fun trip to a warmer place.  We visited the Opry Land Hotel in Nashville where we hob-nobed with some Sesame Street folks, then headed to Florida for some beaches, pools and Busch Gardens.

 But first we had some Christmas fun...

Adele loved the bounce house Santa brought!

Anna, not so much... she didn't want to go near it!

On to Opry Land...

We had breakfast with Shrek and Fiona
